So I FINALLY got around to taking my hard-top off and putting the soft-top on. It looks very good, but there are a couple things I was having a little trouble with, hoping I can find some help here.

1.Why will the tailgate bar not fit into the plastic clips that you attach to the Jeep? The only way I can get it to fit is with lots of force, it rips up the rubber seal, and then the tailgate bar just pops right out.

2. When you install the rear-side windows... I got them zipped in, and I got the long clip on the bottom secured. The issue I'm having is with the side that is closest to the door. What does that part clip in to? Does it just rest freely between the door and the frame? What do I do with that part?

It's a u channel it clips into. You have to secure it into the channel before zipping completely and securing in the body channel.

- use the Velcro to hold the rear of the window
- zip a few inches
- wrap around and tuck the side into the window channel.
- pull tight locking it tight into the channel.
- zip completely
- I like to give one more tug from the rear to really grab the u-channel
- secure along bottom into tub

I don't know what's up with your fist issue. What's the temp ?
Under 70 it becomes difficult to install the top.

My god, its so simple!

And also, its somewhere around 60 degrees. The top was pretty hard to install, but it was the first time I ever did it, too, so I'm sure that was probably the main factor. But really, everything is on the Jeep. The problem is that I can not get the tailgate bar to fit properly.

Crank the heat for a good 15-half. You need to get the top to stretch. @ 60* Im almost positive that is your problem.
